I’ve actually answered this question multiple times, but mostly on other ppl’s posts or in tags so it’s understandable if it wasn’t easy to find. I’ll actually link this answer in my pinned post for future ref.

Reasons I dislike William Shatner: 

He was cruel to the cast and crew of Star Trek on set. This is well documented, and the following people have openly spoken out about it or, at the very least, referenced it in passing: George Takei (Sulu), Walter Koenig (Chekov), Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), and James Doohan (Scotty). He also completely ripped into a teenage Wil Wheaton (Wesley Crusher in TNG).

He even betrayed Leonard Nimoy, his lifelong friend, by recording him without his permission for a documentary. They never reconciled. 

He supports Autism Speaks, a for-profit organization whose money goes to “cure research” (i.e. torturing neurodivergent kids in order to “fix” them). When autistic advocates spoke up and asked him to support alternative organizations - ones that actually help autistic people and do not pathologize us - he mocked them. 

He posts regularly on twitter about his disdain for the MeToo movement, and how he believes it’s a cry for attention.

Most recently (June 14, 2020), he expressed annoyance with the concept of a bisexual Captain Kirk. This one is going to take a bit of context, so bear with me: There is a new Star Trek series in the works called “Strange New Worlds” - which is a spinoff of “Star Trek: Discovery” and is a prequel to “Star Trek: The Original Series.” It follows Spock and Captain Pike. There is no indication that Kirk will even be in the show, but that hasn’t stopped people from speculating online. A clickbait article was written, claiming that not only would Kirk be in SNW, but that he would be bisexual. Instead of ignoring it, Shatner dug in his heels and insisted that if CBS ever did such a thing, it would be an example of “cancel culture presentism.” Which is a fancy way of saying “I don’t think bisexual people should be on TV.” Needless to say, that baffled a lot of people - including myself - because not only is that statement biphobic, but because James T. Kirk is undoubtedly coded to be a bisexual/pansexual/m-spec man, and this felt like a huge slap in the face. Like people were being unreasonable for recognizing that he isn't straight. It's like... you played him that way, Bill. You made him flirt with men and check them out. You made him look at Spock like water in a desert. You did that. You don't get to retroactively pretend he's straight.

You don’t recognize the song at first.

You hear the muffled music from behind the door to Swerve’s and the sound is familiar but you can’t quite place it. It’s like the remnants of a dream right as you wake up. Or a repressed memory. 

Then the door opens and the music blasts clearly from the speaker and the memory comes rushing back with all the force of waterfall and you are just floating and bobbing in a wooden barrel, pushed and pulled towards the water’s edge as you helplessly watch Pipes sing, “Ma Ya Hi!”

“No,” you mouth the word, though it is drowned out by speakers blaring and the few mechs singing along. “No,” you repeat, “I can’t do this. Not again.”

The music ends abruptly and with a spark of electricity as you grab the nearest drink off Swerve’s counter and hurl the contents onto the sound system. 

“I’ve done it,” you say as Swerve laments the destruction of his property. “The evil has been vanquished.”

Pipes looks you dead in the eyes and seconds later a recording of the song starts playing loudly from his vocalizer.

you are so goddamned VALID hhhhh

Arthur would 100% be out there drawing a sorts of pretty shit for the gang when he’s out nd about ,, nd drawing the gang themselves when hes hanging about in camp and u kno he gives them the drawings

he’d be doing funny little comic strips for jack for when he’s tired of reading with uncle hosea like he used to do for his own son (he probably has a little portrait he did of isaac tucked away in a book in his satchel too),,  

Yep, that’s where he went. I do have a followup for that I’ve been toying with. Especially since playing a little more of the game, and seeing more material. I might put that out next after my modern!Arthur x Reader drabble, and something for Hosea.

LOOK

I didn’t know I needed this pain till it tried to strangle me a few days back. 

I didn’t even meet RK900 till my second (Ruthless!Connor) playthrough, and even when I did I was very indifferent towards him. I didn’t love him, I didn’t hate him. He’s always had A+ face, but that’s pretty much it.

But then. But then. I started thinking about him in terms of writing and my own hdc for him and OH BOY.

If Connor is Angst, Ruthless!Connor is The Angst™ then RK900 is ANGST (full-caps fully intended). Not even “oh, it hurts now but you know sweetness is coming” type of angst. 

How I feel about this character

A good boy who left us way too soon

All the people I ship romantically with this character

Riptide but very lowkey

My non-romantic OTP for this character

The minibot squad :0!!

My unpopular opinion about this character

While I’m sad he died so soon (and in the way he did) I can’t really think of what else could have happened to him so like. I’m sad he died but also nah

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.
